The special thing about the youngest boy in the Season 8 Finals is his confidence and the process of cultivating that confidence is always accompanied by his father and mother. Tien Nam's parents always encourage and support him in all activities.

Tien Nam's father shared: "Tien Nam's hobby is participating in competitions, including English. He has achieved high results in most competitions, so his parents and he himself see the English Challenge Program as a very meaningful playground, so they encourage him to participate to evaluate his own abilities and practice more self-confidence for him."

In addition, this young man also received special training from the experienced teachers of the school he is attending. The school focused on teachers preparing the test sets, accompanying Tien Nam for a long time.

“To prepare for the final, the school has proactively organized intensive review sessions according to the system of questions, so that Tien Nam can maximize his strengths,” Ms. Do Thi Ha - Vice Principal of Vinh University High School shared. The solid foundation from the school is also a great motivation for Tien Nam in this playground.
